Life Bousch was born in Strasbourg. The earliest mention of his work is at Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, near Nancy in 1514.Isler-de Jongh, 1998 (p. 1) Bousch was active there from 1514 to 1520, developed a large glass studio and made many windows for the Saint Nicolas basilica.

Some Catholic basilicas are Catholic pilgrimage sites, receiving t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
